TO TAKE SIDES

Good morning!

Today's expression is: to take sides

It means: to show support for one person and not for another person.

We can also say to take somebody's side.

Example 1: I never take sides when my co-workers get into an argument. I prefer to maintain a neutral position.

Example 2:
Daughter: Mom! It's not fair! You always take Billy's side! You never believe me!
Mother: That's not true. I treat you and your brother equally.

I encourage you to write your own sentence with this expression to get some writing practice, and to help you to remember it.

We'll learn another expression with the word side tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
